Internal memo suggests Mueller team may draft obstruction indictment against President, requiring Rosenstein's approval
Internal memo suggests Mueller team may draft obstruction indictment against President, requiring Rosenstein's approval The passage outlines a potential strategy to indict a sitting president for obstruction, citing internal sources and the need for Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein's sign‑off. It provides concrete names (Rosenstein, Jeff Sessions, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Michael Flynn) and a timeline of events, offering a clear investigative lead. However, the claims are largely anecdotal, lack hard evidence of a drafted indictment, and repeat widely reported facts, limiting its novelty and immediacy. Key insights: Mueller team allegedly prepared an obstruction indictment that must be approved by Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein.; Rosenstein previously publicly stated the President was not a target, suggesting a possible shift in stance.; The indictment would frame the case as Trump vs. FBI, DOJ, and Mueller, focusing on the Comey firing and McCabe dismissal.
